Brad Stuver is an excellent GK to be clear, but the credit for this particular piece of "history" should be to Austin's perennially awful defensive structure for allowing the second most shots in the league during this time.

I feel bad for all the people that paid all of that money to see Messi play soccer and he didn’t even show up

On a rate basis in league play not including tonight (which puts him in more or less a dead heat with the top two)

Danny Musovski currently has the highest non penalty xG per 96 and the third highest non penalty goals per 96 in Major League Soccer (minimum 1300 minutes).

Not bad for a guy that was roundly declared to be a "bad finisher" a couple of months ago.

While admittedly, De La Vega hasn't yet been the attacking force that I think everybody was hoping he would be, you can't fault the man's effort and his work defensively is actually pretty noteworthy. That trackback and tackle would have saved a goal if not for the soft penalty happening afterwards.

lmao. Ten Hag is currently still getting paid a Manchester United sized contract to eseentially do nothing, why wouldn't he be inclined to move to the Midwestern USA where people have (checks notes) voted to obliterate their economy because they put a girl in Star Wars.

It's really a sign of progress for the league and the club that they're being used as contract leverage by some of the world's top players (and Marcus Rashford I guess).
